EGroups, Geocities, Rocketmail...
Flickr noooo!!! You were so open, and so free :(
del.icio.us noooo!!! You were quasi-useful :(

i used to use rocketmail back in the day... but my account disappeared when yahoo took it over :(

3 Name: 404 - Name Not Found 2005-12-10 17:37 ID:YhCNbaHq

I used to have a free Geocities email account - it got worse when Yahoo took over (no more forwarding) and later on they killed all free Geocities accounts.

4 Name: 404 - Name Not Found 2005-12-10 19:52 ID:eYX6Xlp1

Yeah, this sucks... I deleted my del.ico.us account and moved to Simpy, it's not as good, but should work.

Never really cared about Flickr, though.

They've also eaten up Upcoming.org which was really cool... at least they didn't butcher it or del.icio.us yet.

6 Name: 404 - Name Not Found 2005-12-12 00:12 ID:LyojKFke

I forgot one-- they ate Launch.com, rebranded it, and never upgraded it to support Fx or OSX.

Heh. I still have about 5 or 6 CDs of Launch's pre-Yahoo cyber-multimedia music magazine dingus. They were free. The sole profit I made out of the dot-com thing.

Why do so many people seem to think that getting acquired is a good thing? I happened upon the weblog of the Flickr or deli.cio.us or something like that inventor, announcing that it had been sold to Yahoo, and all the comments were like "Congratulations!", and nobody seemed worried or disappointed at all. What's up with these people?

I used to use eGroups and Geocities long, long ago but had stopped by the time Yahoo swallowed them. Never used Rocketmail, deli.cio.us, or Flickr. >>3 What, I went to http://www.geocities.com/ and it still seems to be advertising free accounts; could you clarify?

>>8 okay I looked at that geocities page and I don't see anywhere mention that they are offering you a geocities email.
A page, yes. I still have my geocities page of long ago.
But no email.

They used to have free e-mail. They got rid of it. That's what 3 mentioned.

They also used to have a community aspect, but Yahoo destroyed it quickly.
You can see the death of GeoCities' community here:

Ah, we forgot about Konfabulator!
Another semi-useless cool thing swallowed up by Yahoo.

12 Name: uh huh 2005-12-19 05:03 ID:VutUBraC

you people are retarded conspiracy theorists. to the guy who canceled his del.icio.us account just because of the acquisition, stop it... you are making the human race look like tools.

13 Name: 404 - Name Not Found 2005-12-19 05:43 ID:Heaven

hehe, I managed to attract a Digg-tard

15 Name: 404 - Name Not Found 2005-12-19 15:14 ID:Heaven

I don't see any conspiracy theories in this thread.

16 Name: 404 - Name Not Found 2005-12-20 08:20 ID:Heaven

There's a reason for that: They don't want them here.

Google ate up Dejanews too. Does anyone remember that? No? What makes you think anyone will care about egroups (aka Yahoo! groups), flickr (which no one had heard about two years ago) or any of the other web 2.0 crud?

29 Name: 404 - Name Not Found : 2006-06-30 15:00 ID:21Pa+GCa

Thank you. Your opinion, though unsurprising coming from today's AOL generation, is valued by us all.
